Abstract

This study aimed to develop a new scale, learning orientation, that unifies three related constructs, grit, growth mindset, and action orientation. A confirmatory factor analysis showed the three factor scale to have good model fit. Further analyses revealed the scale to have strong reliability and satisfactory convergent/ discriminant validity.
